Whether you get FIFA 22 for Christmas or are just joining the party late, be warned, you are joining the Ultimate Team cycle three months in and there are some incredible squads around.
If you are going to play the competitive modes (Rivals and FUT Champs) then you will need a team capable of competing, and we have put together three squads on achievable early budgets.
We have built a Premier League squad for 10k, 25k, and 50k budgets to set you on your way in FUT 22, so check them out below.
*Player prices taken from Tuesday, 21 December.
10k Squad
Putting together a cheap Premier League team is easy in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team as there are plenty of cheap beasts available.
The likes of Wilfried Zaha and Nicolas Pepe provide plenty of pace and trickery in the wide areas, while Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a real handful through the middle.
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey features in all our budget teams as he is a brilliant midfield enforcer, and West Ham duo Nikola Vlasic and Tomas Soucek will provide plenty of energy alongside him in midfield.
Pace is not as crucial this season, but as you won't have the very best defenders you will want them to be reasonably mobile.
Check out how the full squad will look below:
Price:
- PlayStation – 9,600 coins

25k Squad
With a slightly bigger budget, you can really strengthen your squad, particularly in defence with the likes of Ricardo Pereira, Antonio Rudiger, and Edouard Mendy all coming in.
Partey remains the midfield pivot, but is flanked by Chelsea duo Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz instead!
A fifth Chelsea star features in this XI too with rapid German striker Timo Werner coming in to replace DCL.
There are changes out wide too, and we would definitely recommend Raphinha, with Diogo Jota/Wilfried Zaha coming down to personal preference of either pace or shooting.
This is how the full squad will look:
Price:
- PlayStation – 21,400 coins
- Xbox – 26,000 coins

50k Squad
Once you have got going in FIFA 22, a 50k budget is more than achievable and will allow you to bring in Joe Gomez to your back four.
Milestone Premier League player Javier Manquillo can also be unlocked to bring in a high-class right-back to your side too.
Man City and England superstar Phil Foden also comes into our 50k team to complete a terrific midfield trio that combines physical power with technical brilliance.
The front three has been strengthened too with Man Utd wing wizard Marcus Rashford and Chelsea goal-machine Romelu Lukaku bolstering the attack.
